Artorious,
Going through some old back issues of Military Modeling and found a great little snippet that may help with your problem. Vol. 33 #4 has an article on a Finnish Pzr IV. The article is by Jukka Purhonen and he mentions that he has done quite a bit of research onto vehicle colors along with a Mr. Esa Muikku, their studying and evaluation of paint pulled from interior surfaces or enclosed surfaces that have not been exposed to light, solvents, etc. so that they feel the color is fairly true, and he discusses colors and gives a paint mix using Humbrol Super Enamels.
DUNKELGELB (NACH MUSTER):
1 part 84+1 part 83+1part 110+1part 34.
He adds the caveat of:
"It should be noted that this is valid only fro the present range of Humbrol Super Enamels. I have noted that the color shades have not in every case reamiend the same when Humbrol changed their paints into the Super Enamel Series."
Another thing that he points out is that this mix gives a 1:1 unfaded scale paint color. Leaving the scale effect and weather fading to the discression of the modeler.
Hope it helps.
